287: Alignment

Betsy talks about alignment. What is it? How do we get there? And how do we stay there? Transcription: Hi, hello. Welcome to the Art of Living big. Hi, everybody. Welcome fellow adventurers. You know, if you’re if you’ve been here for a while, you’ve heard me say that and you’ve probably heard me talk about why I say that. But it’s making me think that maybe there are new people and you don’t know why I say welcome, fellow adventurers. And I have the belief that we are spiritual beings here having a physical experience. And this is our adventure. So I always like to, to welcome you because I believe we are adventurers come down to have this really magical experience. So which sometimes doesn’t feel quite so magical, but it’s it is an adventure nonetheless. So, welcome, welcome to the show. I am recording this when I’m still in Iceland. By the time you listen to it, I think I’ll be back. But I am recording it. Now. The wind has been howling, it has been so crazy. I really, really love Iceland. It’s really beautiful. It’s like a nother planet, you know, we are traveling along this ring road. That’s like this big circle that goes all the way around the country. And all the different parts of the country just looks so different. Like there’s so many different parts of Iceland. You know, there’s waterfalls, and hotsprings and it’s just really unbelievably beautiful and really fun. And the winds just howls it has been so windy. We went to a waterfall the other day and I have those. I have those like spikes. You know how you can get like spikes for your shoes. So like the day before, like two days before I left, I left on a Tuesday. It was like a Sunday morning. I was like I’m going to order those spikes from Amazon. They were like 12 bucks. I almost didn’t do it. But then I did. And I’m so glad that we did they came like overnight, you know how Amazon sometimes knows. It knows, right? It knows you’re ordering stuff. And it like starts moving things to a warehouse closer to you that it thinks you’re going to buy. Did you know that it’s so creepy and so convenient. Because I used to that so that it helped me get these spikes. So thank goodness, I have these spikes, Grace, purchase our 12 bucks if you come to Iceland, but we are here and it’s so icy and it’s so windy, it’s almost hard to stand up, you know. And we went to this waterfall. And it was really unbelievably beautiful. If you’ve followed along on Instagram, you’ve seen all my photos but really, really amazing. And thank goodness that I had like a little bit of abdominal strength left in my life. And these spikes because I think I would have flown right over the edge. I could barely say stay standing up. It was so windy. And then when we came back to our Airbnb, like the wind was just whipping. I almost don’t feel like it’s snowed that much since we’ve been here but it’s been like a whiteout because this the wind is whipping. And it was like Hurricane, hurricane force winds. That first night of those crazy winds in the Airbnb, no windows were shaking and rattling. I mean, like we were all concerned that the windows were going to break but maybe they’re built for that kind of thing here. Anyway, we were supposed to shift and go to our next Airbnb but we couldn’t because the wind is still so bad. And conditions are just really not you can’t be out. So we are hunkered down and very cozy. And we have been working and doing this like Skill Share thing. So I’m here with a group of people. There’s nine of us we’re from all different countries, Italy, Netherlands, Germany, Hungary, Sweden, Portugal. So it’s been just such a like a fun thing, right?
